Chapter 22: Tongyuan Valley
An hour later, hundreds of students followed the dean and others to the outside of Tongyuan Valley.
Tongyuan Valley, located in a mountain range dozens of miles away from the north of Lieyuan City, this valley is more than 30 miles long, the area is huge, if you hike, you may not be able to pass through it for two hours, and there are countless monsters inside, it is the venue for the graduation competition of Qingsong Academy over the years.
The students who were able to come over to participate in the graduation competition this time were all people who were extremely confident in their own strength, at least they all had the strength of the fourth layer of the Inner Qi Realm, after all, although Tongyuan Valley was generally a first-level demon beast, but occasionally there would be weaker second-level demon beasts, if the strength was not enough, it was easy to worry about their lives.
At this moment, the dean suddenly coughed lightly and said loudly: "The students who can come here are all the elites of my Qingsong Academy, and this year's final test is the same as in previous years, I believe you should have known the rules a long time ago." ”
"Now each of you has an Amethyst Token in your hand, which can be used to detect Amethyst tokens within a radius of ten zhang. After entering the valley, your task is to find the amethyst that we have hidden in advance, and successfully stay in the valley for twelve hours, at which time we will rank each person according to the number of tokens in their hands, and as for the corresponding rewards, I don't need to repeat them. ”
There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, and many people looked a little excited, the rewards for the top 10 finishers were enough to make people's hearts pound just thinking about it.
Just one bottle of the Three-Turn Xuanqi Pill was worth more than 100,000 taels, could they not be excited?
"Okay, no more nonsense, the final competition starts now, you guys are ready to enter the valley!"
With the dean's order, four or five hundred people rushed to the valley mouth, this valley mouth of the Tongyuan Valley is huge, at least thirty or forty people can be accommodated at the same time to walk side by side, at this moment everyone is showing their own body skills, one by one quickly swept in.
Luoyang walked behind the crowd, but he didn't rush to go in first, after all, the location of the distribution of demon beasts in Tongyuan Valley is constantly changing every year, and some unlucky ghosts may encounter second-level demon beasts as soon as they enter, I am afraid that they will be seriously injured and sent out in a photo.
The more than ten people who stayed outside the valley were all high-level figures of Qingsong Academy, and the dean looked at the students who were scrambling, and he was originally smiling, but suddenly frowned.
"Liu Ming, that student is Luoyang of the City Lord's Mansion?" he looked at the back of a student and raised his eyebrows.
Liu Ming has always been the dean's right-hand man, and he is also a gentleman in the academy, who is responsible for teaching advanced courses, Wen Yan looked at the figure and said: "Yes, dean, this year is Luoyang's fifth year in our academy, according to the rules, he must come to participate in this graduation competition, otherwise he will be deemed to have automatically withdrawn from the academy." ”
"However, this kid only has the cultivation of the third layer of the Inner Qi Realm, I'm afraid it's a little dangerous. The dean looked hesitant, considering whether he should call the student back.
"How is it possible at the third layer of the Inner Qi Realm?" Liu Ming was taken aback, and thought to himself, didn't this kid stay at the first layer of the Inner Qi Realm for five years, how could the dean say that he had reached the third layer of the Inner Qi Realm?
His strength was more than a step worse than that of the dean, and he glanced at it in a hurry, not paying attention to what level Luoyang had reached.
"Dean, isn't that Luoyang only the cultivation of the first layer of the Inner Qi Realm? Are you mistaken?" Liu Ming was not worried that something would happen to the students in the valley, because they had already arranged for the teachers of the academy to go in and take care of them secretly, and once someone was in danger, they would take them out, of course, in this case, they would definitely lose the qualification to continue the competition.
The dean smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said, "Shame and courage, this kid is actually very good, don't underestimate him too much." ”
Luoyang's affairs, as the dean, how can he hear less, but he has never paid much attention to this student before, and he didn't want to give himself a surprise today, although his cultivation is still very low, but it is not too embarrassing, at least it has reached the level of an ordinary student.
"Is that so?" Liu Ming still couldn't come back to his senses, not only him, but even several teachers next to him were stunned by what the dean said.
"Could it be that this stupid bird has suddenly opened his mind?" thought to everyone.
However, the third layer of the Inner Qi Realm is still a little unsuitable for them after all, and these people don't pay too much attention to it, because the top ten can only be produced among the first-level students, and even if this Luoyang wants to successfully pass this test, there is basically no possibility.
"It's actually a pity for this kid, if he can open his mind earlier, maybe he can successfully pass the test in five years, but unfortunately, this year is already his last chance, and we can't break the rules of the academy for decades. The dean sighed and said regretfully.
Liu Ming smiled noncommittally and said, "Dean, even if this Luoyang is enlightened, it is too late to start, even if you want to catch up with others, there is basically no possibility." However, with the two genius disciples of Zhou Qing and Sun Yingjie, you should be relieved, even if you see Dean Zhuge in the future, your old waist will be able to straighten a lot. ”
Dean Ha Luha smiled and said, "Yes, this old Zhuge horseman, next time I will see how he will get along with me." ”
As soon as the four or five hundred students entered the Tongyuan Valley, they quickly scattered and separated, after all, the Tongyuan Valley was so big, there were naturally a lot of demon beasts, if the number of people was too dense, it would be easy to attract the attention of the demon beasts.
At this time, everyone's situation is different, among which some students who are slightly weaker, they form a team of two or three, three or five, and run to the depths of the valley together, wanting to search for amethyst together, and most of the students with higher strength act alone, after all, for these first-level students, it is natural to pass the test, but now the more important thing is to grab the ranking, which is the most important thing.
After Luoyang entered the valley, he was already a distance behind the group of people in front, and watching the students in front of him continue to go deeper, they soon disappeared.
Luoyang's eyes flashed, and he flew to the top of a big tree of three or four feet, and raised his eyes to look.
The flow of people has long been divided into small strands, and there are already people in many places who have started with the demon **, fortunately, there are not many demon beasts in the valley, and the strength is not very strong, and no one has been injured for a while.
Luoyang took out a palm-sized amethyst token from his arms, which was transparent, as bright as crystal, and spotless.
"There is no mark on the token, which means that there is no amethyst token in this place, let's change it to another place first. ”
